We have received reports that indicate Velupillai Prabhakaran, the LTTE supremo is still in Mulaitivu. 4 days ago his son Charles Anthony was spotted by now defected LTTE cadres. If Prabhakaran has the guts to face the Army he will not live to make another Heroes Day Speech.
The Mulaitivu battlefield was fairly calm today. The 55 Division and 58 Division linked up two days ago and have started consolidating the area north of Puthumathalang. The clearing operations were spearheaded by 2 Commando Regiment and the Mechanized Infantry of the 55 Division.
The 3rd phase of the rescue mission could begin within the next 48 hours as the objective is to destroy the LTTE by 1st of May and to secure some 50,000 civilians thought to be still trapped inside LTTE areas south of the A-35 in Vellamullaivaikkal. Fresh SF troops from SF 3 and 4 have been brought to a nearby location in case of need.
DefenceWire would like to take this opportunity to call on all Sri Lankans to organize at the village level, possibly around religious places of worship to collect garments for the rescued civilians. Food and other essentials are being provided by the government but there are still some shortfalls.
An act of kindness by the people in the south can go a long way in terms of repairing ethnic harmony in Sri Lanka. Soon after the Tsunami in the East, ordinary Sinhala villagers voluntarily collected and distributed their belongings to Tamil and Muslim villagers along the coastline. This was the first wave of relief that reached the people in distress.

Count me in.
Cool, Sam.
um, is it not advisable to disclose where we are? i mean, like the country we live in?
..i am just curious, 'cause I haven't seen many people do it.

Suresh,
What exactly are you talking about future Karunas? Any Sri Lankan citizen who is willing to giveup terrorism and join the main stream under a united Sri Lanka is most welcome. We will protect and defend them in our best capacity.
As for Hon. Minister Muralitharan, sky is the limit as long as he has the support of the majority (I mean a majority of voters, not Sinhalese). Sri Lankans have forgiven the things he did under the direct command of Prabakaran. He is a hero in Sri Lanka for having the courage to stand up against Prabakaran. One of five vice chairmans of SLFP is a very powerful position these days and decades to come.
-----------------------
Yeah, we should either promote him or Doublas Devananda or who ever who doesn't want the country divided to very high post in Sri Lanka. There is no reason why we can't get these guys PM positions (and later on to what ever levels they can get) in the near future if we can trust them to work for all Sri Lankans instead of just Tamils. We don't want to repeat the same mistake we did with Kadiragama again.
Thusitha,
It was our shameful day that we couldn't protect the golden son Mother Lanka, Lakshman Kadiragamar. With all due respect to other current day politicians, we did not have any body who can come close to LK in many ways. It was sad that the people wasn't vocal enough those days.
On a side note, we have to stop reference to "Tamil civilians." Call them for what they are, i.e. Sri Lankan civilians.
Washburn69,
Nope never in a blog :)

I totally agree;
whatever respect and recognition we enjoy currently from the diplomatic community is about 80% due to the hard work of LK, and the image he created among the IC.

Brave1, you need to put a warning before you post those stuff. I don't think that's the stuff most people would want to see without any warning.
I think in all the anger toward the LTTE, we are forgetting that probably the people who have suffered most are the people who had been under their control. Sure we had been pissed off for a long time by their asking for a seperate country, bus bombs, etc. But we never had to live by the rules of madmen who would do things like this.
Let us look forward to a better tomorrow where we only need to worry about corruption and general stupidity, as everywhere else in the world.
Guys,
it will be a tough challange for SLDF. FatPig has adviced his remaining terrorists to change to civilian clothing. Getting targets will be really dificult and our Brave hearts in a vulnerable situation.
I think we also should jump in to civilian clothing unoffically, so that it will make really difficult for terras as well.
Sam P.
Since I know you are around, let me repeat a request,
Please add SIRASA to your list "Jaathiyea Paahara Ballo"...
On our topic, One reason why India reluctantly backed the war was because of the stubornnes of MR!

I am new to here. can you please let us know bit more regarding your comments. Thanks

can you please give us some more information.
Thanks
Nijp:
what the heck man? why are you posting duplicate, triplicate posts?
Sniper is probably busy as hell right now...i highly doubt he has time to post ...
wait and see...that's what we are all doing...I am dying to know more too..
But I am sure as soon as they can , they will post whatever updates they have.
Puffy,
Sirasa is an institution. That is why I did not add it. We need to personify Sirasa through one of it's main anti SL character to do this. Perhaps you can give a name or two other than Koti Daniel.

-------------------------
I don't know how Sinhalese and in SL feel, but we should put some time frames where we would get a Tamil PM in the country. MR should be able to be bold and make statements such as within next 5 years (or what ever he feels like) that there would be a Tamil PM and then a President. There shouldn't be any reason for not having that. It is time we give leadership of the country to these guys as well. We should have town hall type of meeting so that if Sinhalese have Reservations about these guys, it can be dispelled.
Only think is we have to thoroughly screen the guys who would become this type of top leaders of SL. We don't want wolves in Sheep's clothing.
Sri Lankan should have a very good debate on this kind of thing giving prominence through National Media. I think MR should be able to pull something like this without fear of Sinhalese backlash. Also this will aleviate most of the concerns India and the international community has.
SAUL said....
Ananda-USA said:You Indians give different caste, race, language and religious groups different rights in your own country, and destroy it from within, but we Sri Lankans will never allow that. India is beset by 13 major insurgencies, endemic caste warfare, separatist nationalist movements, and religious discord, yet you PRESUME to know how to advise Sri Lanka! What IDIOCY! What HYPOCRISY! INDIA HEAL THYSELF before you breakup into many warring vulnerable nations!However, Ananda-USA, your statement above makes it so very clear that you do not know a lot about India.INDIAN said...
But it really causes heartburns when people start pouring venom without seeing the real reason. Ananda-USA's post on India was one such.I was surprised for whatever I saw here,he was one of few sensible posters.Dear Saul and Indian,
Saul made the comment that I don't understand India at all. Quite the contrary, I make it a point to focus on and study India and Indian events, have visited India off-and-on many times, have many Indian friends, and have had Indian house guests both in Sri Lanka since my childhood and in the US now. I doubt that there are many Sri Lankans who have made as great an effort over many decades to learn about and understand India, than me.
Be that as it may, the problem here seems to be that when the TRUTH HITS HOME it OFTEN HURTS. But, hopefully, with that shocking hurt will come a sudden realization of ONES OWN ERRORS and a resolve to change ONES WAYS, in this instance the INDIAN ATTITUDE and POLICIES towards SRI LANKA.
Make no mistake about it...I STRONGLY SUPPORT a UNITED & THRIVING India..but I am APPALLED by the DOUBLE STANDARDS of Indian Politicians and their PRESUMPTION that India is Qualified to Preach to Sri Lanka when India's own feet are made of clay. Also, wat is good for INDIA does not seem to be good for SRI LANKA.
Also, I stand by MY GENERAL VIEW that INDIA has NO MORAL STANDING to demonize/criticize Sri Lanka, because it has not achieved a level of BROAD-BASED SOCIAL EQUITY in India that is anywhere near what Sri Lanka has achieved: in elimination of caste and religious discrimination, in eradicating illiteracy, in addressing homeless-ness and landless-ness, in rural electrification, in general healthcare, the list goes on and on, ad nauseam.
Most HYPOCRITICALLY, here is a country that spawned the Tamil separatist phenomenon in Sri Lanka deliberately as a matter of regional hegemonistic policy, by training, arming, funding, delivering, and supporting politically and militarily that separatist terror in Sri Lanka, now adopting a high-handed holier-than-thou attitude towards Sri Lanka when we are desparately trying to ROOT OUT the evil they created in our country.
It is not as if they don't know the murderous evil we are dealing with, and the FAILURE of their own IPKF in trying to deal with it. It is interesting to note that those very Indian RAW agents (e.g., B. Raman) and Army Generals (A. Mehta, Hariharan) who made pontifical pronouncements, rooted in their own bloody experiences with their LTTE client in Sri Lanka, are still at it. We heard that "The LTTE can never be Militarily Defeated," and "Kilinochchi will be Sri Lanka Army's Stalingrad," and most recently "Long Live the Sri Lankan Tamil Cause!"
These Indians were WRONG then, WRONG now, and are WRONG about the FUTURE as well. There is no superior knowledge, experience, or goodwill towards Sri Lanka here...its all promoting their own AGENDA at Sri Lanka's expense.
To this day, B.Raman, the RAW agent who was part of sponsoring Tamil separatist terror in Sri Lanka, bemoans the loss of its LTTE and other Clients in Sri Lanka, and still pontificates about the need to maintain Client Allies in neighboring countries to destabilize and control them as a part of hegemonic Indian National Policy. I can understand that stance towards Pakistan, but Sri Lanka, Bangla Desh, Nepal...why have we done to India? What is the matter with these people?
Clearly, Indian leaders have still not come to grips with the notion that the TERROR YOU SPONSOR ABROAD EVENTUALLY COMES HOME TO ROOST.
All the CLOAKING of the EELAM struggle in manufactured "Tamil grievances" and unlimited "Tamil aspirations" separate from the common aspirations of all Sri Lankan people cannot hide this IMMUTABLE FACT: INDIA is RESPONSIBLE for seeding and supporting this terror in Sri Lanka for regional and local political motives, and we Sri Lankans have a right to expose the nakedness of the Emperor when the Emperor continues the Double Talk.
And, Indian, my comments are not VENOM, this is the unpleasant TRUTH that Indians should face. India has to stop preaching to Sri Lanka. India is now poised again to provide a way out for the LTTE leaders for LOCAL political reasons. This is also affecting US attitudes (because of US reliance on India for help with Taliban) towards the LTTE. Instead of doing that, India should say MEA CULPA to the Tamil Nadu people pressuring them for intervention in Sri Lanka...irrepective of ELECTION considerations...SAY India was wrong to have spawned terrorism in Sri Lanka, that sovereign Sri Lanka must be allowed to eliminate the LTTE terrorists, that India has no leverage with their former LTTE Client and CANNOT ITSELF rescue the Tamil Civilian Hostages, that rescue by the Sri Lanka Army is the APPROPRIATE & PROPER WAY to rescue them, as INDIA did in the case of the MUMBAI TERRORIST ATTACK.
My comments are not VENOMOUS; they are just addressing all the root causes and erroneous presumptions that allows India to hide its own responsibilities and defects while CONTINUING its attempts to stop the eradication of the LTTE in Sri Lanka. Furthermore, India should BUTT OUT of the Sri Lankan Tamil issue; India is only making creating barriers to solving it ourselves after creating it in the first place.
Having said all of that, lets get down to the specifics of what I said and what parts of my statements are wrong?....what are you disagreeing with? Lets BRIEFLY examine some things I said about India's own errors:
1. Issue of CASTE-based rights.
The Federal Govt. of India has established the so called "Scheduled Castes" and "Other Backward Castes"...with the good intention of uplifting them, but with the unintended CONSEQUENCE of pitting people of various castes against each other. Now, Mayawati realizes that was a mistake and is recommending affirmative action on the basis of POVERTY & NEED only. In this case, I am CORRECT that India is dealing with the caste issue incorrectly.
2. Broader CASTE issues
Why has the Federal Govt of India NOT ENFORCED laws against discrimination on the basis of CASTE? For example, Dalit students are prevented from attending college in Tamil Nadu...why is the Federal Govt not enforcing colleges to be open freely to all? Low caste people are still barred from the use of public facilities like wells, restaurants, shops etc reserved for high-caste people, and may not live among high cate people or rent homes among them. Why are these things yet in existence in India 62 years after independence?
Ramadoss agitates for a "Vanniyar Only" state including parts of TN, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka...why is he not serving a very long prison sentence for sedition? Recently a high DMK official (Veeraman) wanted Brahmins and "Aryans" to be excluded from running for political office in TN...why is this man still free? Clearly, India is letting discrimination based on CASTE (and ethnicity) go unchecked. In contrast, there is no CASTE based discrimination of this kind in Sri Lanka, at least among non-Tamils. That did not happen naturally, but as a result of GOSL policies enacted mainly since independence.
3. RELIGIOUS issues in theoretically SECULAR India.
In India 80% of the people are Hindu, and of them nearly 40% are disadvantaged castes; yet, they cannot enter the Hindu temples typically run by high caste people. Why not? Why are the Federal and State Govts not opening up these temples to these people of the lower castes, and enforcing the law? In Sri Lanka, religious temples and churches are open to all. Many decades ago, low caste Hindus were not allowed to enter Brahmin run Hindu temples in Sri Lanka, and Sri Lanka Govt had to enforce access...not very successfully I must admit...because the high caste Tamils complained that the Govt was interfering with the fundamental aspects of their reliogion. However, with the general religious attitudes and TENOR set by the majority Buddhists and other religious groups in Sri Lanka, the OVERT discrimination within the Sri Lankan Tamil Hindu community has largely disappeared.
We have all heard of the tit-for-tat killings of Muslims and Hindus in India. The BJP party is wedded to a Hindu supremacist India that is feared by all non-Hindus, and may lead to further religious polarization of India. Christian missionaries are wrongfully or rightfully being accused of exploiting poverty to convert Hindus, of creating Christian villages from which Hindus are expelled and excluded...in effect creating religious enclaves that are no-go areas within the country to other communities. Why are divisive activities such as these not prohibited by Federal law? In the United States (albeit not 100 years ago) people can settle and live wherever they please. In Sri Lanka, it was so (at least in theory) 30 years ago before the LTTE created an ethnically cleansed Tamils-only mono-ethnic Eelam "state"in the North and East. We will never allow that situation to recur in Sri Lanka, but India seems to be heading in the direction of greater polarization because of either the wrong laws in place, or not enforcing the laws on the books and allowing people to promote divisive agendas.
4. INSURGENCIES in India
Are you disputing that there are 13 major insurgencies underway in India, and as many as 38 minor ones? If so, please go and do your research on the Web. In addition, most other insurgencies that were suppressed, or are now dormant, like the Khalistan struggle of the Sikhs, have been SUPPRESSED largely by MILITARY means; many are dormant but not extinguished. The Jammu & Kasmir insurgency is a particularly nasty current conflict in which the Indian Military is omnipresent and the same kinds of charges levelled at the GOSL by Sri Lankan Tamils are beling levelled by the insurgents. They create the provocations, and elicit military responses, point to the casulaties and yell genocide. Should Sri Lanka castigate India for defending its unity there, under the guise of compassion for the Kashmiri civilians as India is doing with Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka? Or, should we understand the true nature of what is going on and support India's territorial integrity as we are doing now?
There are Naxalites killing people, attacking government facilities and staff, disrupting elections, taking hostages all over Eastern India. In Assam and Nagaland there are two other seperatist struggles. Should we Sri Lankans automatically support all of these separatist struggles in India, or should we support India preserve its unity and solve its problems because it knows best, as we are doing now? Of course, the Tamil National Liberation Army is getting a fresh injection of money and recruits from the LTTE right now. Very recently, a TNLA activist has joined forces with the DMK and is canvassing in the upcoming elections.
These are just a few of the 13 major + 38 minor insurgencies in India...so whisper to me softly me friends, if am I wrong in saying that India is beset by separatism and terrorism.
5. Is Federal Governance a success in India?
India is such a large country, that some form of devolution of power to individual states is necessary. But, clearly the Indian federal model is in deep trouble and centrifugal forces are at work in India, with only one or two separatism movements receiving foreign assistance. Most of the insurgencies are arising from local issues internal to India. Many Indians advocate a federal system for Sri Lanka. But, Sri Lanka is a very small country that does not need such a complex system of governance that merely introduces instability and the burden of additional taxpayer-supported bureaucracies where none are needed. This is one of the few small benefits of our smallness. No, Sri Lanka can manage very well under a unitary system of government with only non-ethnic non-religious non-linguistic local government entities limited to districts, cities, towns, and villages. No ethnic-fiefdoms and communal satrapies at all.
THEREFORE, let me now restate what you two objected to, and stand by it:You Indians give different caste, race, language and religious groups different rights in your own country, and destroy it from within, but we Sri Lankans will never allow that. India is beset by 13 major insurgencies, endemic caste warfare, separatist nationalist movements, and religious discord, yet you PRESUME to know how to advise Sri Lanka! What IDIOCY! What HYPOCRISY! INDIA HEAL THYSELF before you breakup into many warring vulnerable nations!

"I don't know how Sinhalese and in SL feel, but we should put some time frames where we would get a Tamil PM in the country. "
Well, the last king of Sinhalese is a Tamil of Nayakkar clan. I don't see a big issue as long as plans are not drawn to breakup the country.

Now I understand where the superiority complex comes from. Haha.
We should get a guy like Saman Kumara to shape the views of Sinhalese community. I think he would have a large Audiance in SL. Maybe conduct some internet poles e.t.c regarding this. Also we should go talent hunting for new Tamil Politician and actively try to get them involved in two Major parties and get them to canvas votes in Sinhala areas instead of just Tamils areas (and vice versa).

Thusitha,
Have you come to SL recently? I honestly don't think that there is any need to shape our thinking by somebody like SKR even though it is helpful. The easiest way to win the hearts of Sinhalese is to speak their language. I don't mean that somebody needs to convert the identity to Sinhalese and speak Sinhala at home. A few things Sinhalese don't tolerate are the attempts to break the country in to pieces and bringing in religious fundamentalism. So anything short of that and treason is fine in my view.

Mate, I also have seen that video, very disturbing, isn’t it?
However, injury shown is definitely due to a land mine (anti personal) explosion.

But a public campaign to ease the mind of Tamils would be good. This kind of press would be good for IC as well. Also I am not sure whether lot of politicians would like to give away to Tamil Politcians or any other politician for that matter. I think there would be quite a lot who are power hungry.

Good observation. Many sections know this and that's why they use the terms "within one country", "undivided country", "religious harmony", and "religious freedom" in their attempts to to break the country in to pieces and bringing in religious fundamentalism.

Lied der Sturmartillerie
Wenn der Kampf um den Sieg am wildesten braust,
Panzer voran voran!
zieht die Sturmart'lerie wie die eiserne Faust,
Panzer voran voran!
Alles reissen wir mit, niemand remmt unsern Schritt,
weder Wälder noch Wüste noch Moor,
mit Gott der Eisen wachsen ließ,
Sturmart`lerie bricht vor!
Was die Technik uns schuf, wir fahen's an den Feind,
Panzer voran voran!
so sind wir mit der Heimat im Geiste vereint,
Panzer voran voran!
Und die Kampfmelodie uns'er Sturmart'lerie,
ist so hart, wie wir selbst Mann für Mann
Und nach dem wir dann Tod und Verderben gespien,
Panzer voran voran!
Nun hinein in die bessere ZuKunft wir zieh'n,
Panzer voran voran!
Uns're Wunsche so Ziel
Brechen Deutschlands Zurkunft wir Bahn!

When the battle for victory reaches the wildest tumult
Panzer forwards forwards!
The assault artillery moves like an iron fist
Panzer forwards forwards!
We tear everything along, no one can halt our step
Neither forests nor desert nor swamp,
With God who let iron grow
Assault artillery breaks forwards!
What technology created for us, we drive it towards the enemy,
Panzer forwards forwards!
That's how we are with the homeland in spirit united,
Panzer forwards forwards!
And the battle song of our assault artillery,
Is so hard, as we are ourselves man for man.
And after we then perceive death and decay,
Panzer forwards forwards!
Now into a better future we go,
Panzer forwards forwards!
Our wishes become goals
We force a way for Germany's future

@Chinthaka on LNP
The 2000 cadre story was published in the news. They came mixed with the 100K civilians. ST is not refering to a story tonight.
That guy usually just guesses what's going to happen, from my experience.
Oh Poo!
I got a bit excited...
glad I didn't celebrate, though..
Waiting game...I hope SOMETHING happens...
I've lost enough sleep for damn exams this week, hehe.
Months ago When all the sinful souls were shouting from top of their voices I warned them with the following ...and most of them laughed it off...
...This is to all those who are supporting to rescue the sinful soul by screaming from top of their voices, creating unrest among international countries to achieve it… and still having a glimmer of a hope that they can separate and destruct this blessed land….
..LET ME VEHEMENTLY SAY THAT YOUR EFFORTS WILL NOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING…
Why???
Let me remind you all that this land still securely holds the preaching about the ‘truth of life’ and it is blessed/destined to hold it securely for another 2500 years…If any force thinks that they can destroy this country before that YOU HAVE SEEN NOTHING YET…wait for a few more days to see what happens to these sinful souls who tried to do that…
There are guardians who firmly protect this country… and the recent turn of events, gives ample evidence to it…if you noted, every person who tried to bring major destruction was uncovered/surrendered rather surprisingly….these guardians were all waiting patiently watching the past destruction for the chosen one to emerge and guide him to eradicate those destructors…that chosen one was not CBK, MR, SF, BR, RW or KJ…but he is ‘GR’..
So far, only once I saw about this truth coming up in a forum…that was also in 2007…
...Link- Read the 2nd Last post...
This country faced a curse for over 300 years where lot of destruction was caused by different foreign and internal forces…that curse will come to an end soon….and the land that held the world’s longest serving capital for over 1200 years is destined to become a powerful nation once again….there will not be any destruction to this magnitude at least for another 500 years..
Therefore, all those who are counting down days for the country’s downfall let me assure you that you have a very long countdown ahead of you…
this blessed land will be talked upon by all nations and will stand up once again to its past lost glory…...
...THIS IS THE TRUTH…
...THIS IS THE DESTINY…
...PROVE ME THAT I AM WRONG…
Ghost Rider,
Is this what you are talking about?
----------
I am a believer of astrology...now some may laughat this...
i never believed from my days at royal but subsequent things which i saw truly baffled me as and the only explanation was the paranormal...
i don't want to recite them here but Ive seen a lot folks...
a few years back to the famous kande viharaya in sri lanka a 'puskola potha' appeared...those who reside in kaluthara would know what I'm talking about cos that was the news in that era...in that book was the history of sri lanka past present and future in vivid detail...a man from hambanthota an army officer was mentioned there...again those who live in kaluthara would know what I'm talking about...ill not say more...exept that we have hope ...based not only on what we see with our own eyes as far as the war in sri lanka is concerned, but also what we belive...

Waiting anxiously for the Great News!
Jayawewa Sri Lanka!
May the Triple Gem Bless Our Heroes.
Matara Peramuna is always with you Sir, Gotabaya Rajapaksa and your brave team.
I have to salute you Sir, General Fonseka.
another fantastic decision by MR. ga chandrasiri has been appointed to handle the post-liberation issues in the north.
he is an expert in this regard.
he did the same in jaffna. by the time he took over, jaffna was very volatile and by the time he stepped down, it was very peaceful and ppl were supporting the govt.
this is EXACTLY what he should copy here.
good luck!
Patriots,
Please restrain your enthusiasm for now until MOD says this. Until then we have more days of fighting ahead.
Is this a JOKE?
"We call on the Tamil Tigers to lay down their arms and surrender to a third party," State Department spokesman Robert Wood told reporters here today.
Peramuna Members don't want to see nai Prabakaran alive.
Macho, ST@LNP is full of shit, I just called Sri Lanka, no hot news yet...
if there are any, it will come out within 24hours i guess...
anyway guys dont give up...stay tuned....
On April 25, 2006 nai Praba tested Gen. Fonseka & today the nai is paying for that bad Karma.
where is Puran Appu, Nisal etc...?
Guys, you must watch this video, if you have not already.
Elam supporters, you must also watch, see from your own eyes. This is emotional guys.

Thanks Chinthana4Lions,
Yes, I hear you loud and clear.
That is why I asked whether he is joking.
Mango, Go fuck yourself!
The song tells about the dedication, commitment, sacrifices and pride that associate with a Tank Crew. Obviously the word NAZI will appear because its a WW II German song, (If you know any good English, Russian Or American songs Oh! do please tell me,) I posted the original version to keep the authenticity, just because of that you try to brand me as a NAZI? I think you need to GROW UP and try to understand the deeper meaning of words rather than just taking in the literal meaning dumb ass!
If you want to give people English tuition lessons this is not the place, I heard there is an opening in the LTTP punnakku dept, ever since Daya and George Mastur-bators did a runner the Mofos are having a hard time issuing punnakku statements in English for the IC.

thanks for reminding.
marvelous if SLDFs can screw vezapillai today!
Thusitha/Ghost Rider,
You seem to be referring to the legend of Prince Diyasena..I have also heard of an puskola potha (or sel lipiya?) referring to this prophesy, apparently written after Vijayabahu I vanquished the Chola forces in 1055 AD..
The battle between the Seehela and Damida will not end here..It will continue to 2500 years after the Buddha..In this time, when the Seehela nation is on its knees a prince by the name of Diyasena will come from Kachara gaama (Katharagama)..He will vanquish the Damida and take the Seehela nation and the faith to its former glory.. Many people were fooled in 1956 that SWRD Bandaranaike was Diyasena as he was appealing to the Sinhala nationalism and 1956 was the 2500th year after the Buddha.. But I beleive that Mahinda VI is Diyasena.. 1. He hails from Medamulana which is close to Katharagama
2. When he came to power in 2005 the Sri Lankan/ Sinhala nation was on it's knees,,As our troops discovered the LTTE had amassed a vast array of weapons and were researching even more lethal ones..A few more years of Ranil and CFA would have definitely led to Eelam (May be even Ellam and we would be stateless like Palestinians)
3. This is the freaky part..The flag of Vijayabahu I (as most Lankan kings) was the sword bearing lion.. the emblem of the cholas he vanquished was the roaring tiger in a ring of fire/ the sun.. An ancient prophesy maybe about to be fulfilled
Sinhala revolutionary force,
The song your referring to, is that the SS funeral song? It is indeed a very emotional tune despite the fact that it was composed for a brutal regime..It is a universal song for all proper soldiers who fall in battle..
I heard that a precision guided FAE was used to bust a concrete bunker in the SZ in addition a tractor full of terras were attacked . No info on who was in the bunker or the vehicle yet .
Thusitha,
Every time we visit Sri Lanka, we try to visit Kande Vihara in Benthota/Aluthgama.
Unfortunately, we could not visit Kande Vihara last time.
Hopefully next time.
Can anyone in Kandy tell me whether the flash-lights are ON on Bahiravakanda Statue at night?
During Ranil's time, they cut the electricity supply to Bahiravakanda Buddha Statue. I heard that people wrote Mahinda to restore it back again. Did not know what happened.
The Bahiravakanda Temple does not draw enough funds to pay for electricity that requires to illuminate the statue.
The illuminated statue at night is one of the most beautiful sights of Kandy.
This is the link to a book which mentions prince Diyasena prephecy.
Long Long time reader, FIRST time poster..Didnt want to post anything i am NO match to all ya patriots ideas and comments..
..Keep up the good work..
Now, the reason which triggered my first post.. is someone's idea RE: organising necessities for the displaced tamil civilians..I live in Sydney and i am pretty sure there are some patriots from the same area...therefore, if someone is/wants to organise something, IM UP FOR IT, please take me onboard..I have few contacts in Lanka which might take us a long way..also, many contacts here in Sydney, consist of young aussie born patriots who are itching to do something for our mother Lanka..
...now that the war is almost over, we have to work together to build a better Lanka..

I think our govt. could do better PR operation, these news should play with english sub tittle, also our media should do special programs (preferably) in English while the cake is hot
It would be really nice if we can move all wesak dan-sal to these camps this year. SL army should facilitate it.
rather than waiting for VP to take a sub ride(if its their sub it must be surface submersible) why dont the navy put some 'maa dal'layers and sea mines. it would make their lifes very interesting
Nice link 'one country'.

# Sri Lankan spokesman in London Tv debate says ..
Thanks DC..
from the link it says, "Tamil spokesman Arjunan Ediriweerasingham "
This is not a Tamil name right??
I know some of these Paitiyans refer to Anuradapura as Anuradhapurm etc,
but I think this
Ediriweerasingham bit too eccentric.
sound like a castrated lion to me.
Can some Tamil give me a Tamil Name lesson ?
is it me or does anyone here think that the government needs to do a better job on communication to west? All I hear from the government Reps abroad is, we can't agree to a ceasefire b/c the tigers then will have a chance to regroup blah blah... No one's making it clear that these Tigers just won't let these innocent people go just because there's ceasefire, they have already proven this time and time again. Why isn't THIS the main focus??? It seems contradictory when the officials say the Tigers don't have a chance in hell anymore but we're pushing for total anhialation for brags. At least that's what I got from the most recent BBC broadcast. I think it needs to be spelled out for the rest of the world that the civillians don't have a chance in hell unless our troops go in to save them from the slimy bastards! we NEED to do a better PR job than this otherwise the efforts of our brave one's going to be downplayed like nothing else.
God bless our soldiers!

Hi Indian, please educate U.S. We would like to see your replies. I don't know much about India at all, but I would like to see your argument. We in south east Asia has pretty much similar problems. I and many others in this blog like to see how India has resolved these. So please enlighten us.
Indian,
we know enough about India to know that its a country of extremties..A country of slumdogs and millionares 9not slumdog millionaires).. A country which espouses the highest moral values in it's image but has more vices than most western nations...A charade run in the form of the world's largest democracy when most uneducated voters dont know what they are voting for..And the so called world's most ethnically diverse country held together by mob violence and the 4th largest standing army..
And most of all a country which preaches minority rights to others, when they forcibly hold Kasmir, Sikkhim and Arunchal Pradesh.
Hi Guys,
This is my first post here. But I've been an avid follower here.
I have only one thing to ask those people who are asking GOSL to stop the war.
"Are you going to be responsible for the consequences?" Will you ensure the safety of the general public in the North as well as the South? Will you guarantee that LTTE will not start the war again?
Will you guarantee that our little nation will not be divided into tiny pieces?
Oncecountry,
Here's another link about that Prince Diyasena Prophecy/myth
http://www.sundayobserver.lk/2008/02/24/imp02.asp
Interesting! This is the first time I heard about it.

Diyasena, I was waiting for his reply before responding. But you jumped the gun.Hopefully being Asian, I would imagine Indian to be less hypocritical. I don't think India would be the role model for national building, but I might be wrong. So let us hear from the great Indian on how got India is.
I saw recently a Tamil blogger commenting on what happen to them in 83. Then a Sikh guy came to the blogg and said, yeah I can sympathise with you, the same shit happen to us. So, please Indian I would love to see your comments on the great India and how beautifully ethnically integrated it is.
Please note this is not an blogg to bash Indians, but people should be careful when criticizing others meanwhile doing much worse things.
But let's not make up our minds till we see the responses of the Indian.
Rac Rab,
Too much to expect, it will be like nai Praba's day dream. They will come up with nice Diplomatic jargon to achieve their objectives instead of expressing a firm commitment.
Therefore, the answer to those who ask the GOSL to stop the liberation of Innocent Tamil people is,
NO MEANS NO
I just saw a video of Shavindra Silva responding to BBC reporters. I think he would be a great diplomat or a political leader. He got the calmness to be either of those. Hopefully he would follow one of those roles soon after the war is over.

Or tell U.S. to send a slow boat to PTK. One that would take a week. By that time this thing will be over (fingers crossed).
DW,
SL papers say that, MN (Menon and Narayanan) ask SL to go for an immediate carefree.
I just told this news to my family and friends and these are some of the comments I got:
Dan yudde ivaray ne, monawada me kiyanne. Prabakaran berandada kiyanne?
Now the war is over, are they telling to leave the Prabakara?
Aah.. ahenan colomba election aka dinala truse akakata giyoth minissu aanduwa kay
If GOSL go for a truce after winning the WP election, people will curse.
Now what can India do to stop actions by SLA at Vanni? They can do the same thing what they did to LTTE, when LTTE did not obey to their request, allow civilians to move out? Ha. Ha. Haa. He. He. Hee.. Ho Ho Hoo.
With long discussion with professionals:
We are in the view that 90% of the Sri Lankan will not mind (human psychology is that many do not speak out the inner mind, so what is said by political parties are not counted) the number of deaths or injured in Vanni as far as the VP and top carder (including the son who may take the lead after VP’s death) is captured. If not people will react differently on the number of the deaths, injured, displaced, money SL spend during this period, patience and tolerance people gave to GOSL.
So, with the MN’s visit GOSL is in better understanding on whether VP is still in NFZ or not. If VP is still NFZ is a matter of time to GOSL.
Again how much weight can the GOSL put to information on MN Vs our MI?
The answer will be soon out.
We wait for that.
Thanks for the link DoDo,
The prophesy seems to have gone to obscurity after SWRD hijacked it for his election campaign in 1956..I got to know about it it from my father many years ago...Lets hope it does come true and we can restablish a happy and prosperous nation once this is over..
Guys,
A direct Indian intervention (i.e militray) will not happen before the election..Congress will not risk losing the votes of its educated, moderate, north Indian middle class vote base just to placate a minority coalition partner..
Actually an attempt at Western intervention like the one proposed by France, UK will be a blessing in disguise for India..They can come to the defence of SL by blocking such a move through their Navy (saying its defending their freindly neigbour, backyard etc)..This will improve their image in India and even attract some Hindu nationalist votes from the BJP..
SF, Shanvendra and all those great army commanders should become leaders in Sri Lanka (as MR has said once), their planning capabilities can be used to develop the country., they are excellent! Even Presidents of Sri Lanka after MR and GR.

Right now nothing will happen. All these comments by political leaders are to appease the Tamil Community. As far as every one is concerned, the war is over. Even BBC, CNN and Aljazeera has given up their highly biased reporting.
Few more days to go. No one want to be in the wrong side of a winner, therefore don't panic.
Has anyone seen the latest CNN video. The CNN reporter hears artliery fires and tell that to Shavindra Siliva. He says, guys from army told him between one and two, there would be controlled explosions to remove booby traps. Loku boruwak, mama hithanne. Me wage aya thamai apita owne reporters lata katha karrana. I wish our defence spokesman is bit better. What we need in people who are talking to reporters is, quick thinkers and people who gives diplomatic answers without allowing the reporters to misquote them. Every question should be used to hit back at LTTE and people who support Terrorist.
I think GR made quite a few mistakes in the past with comments like shelling hospitals e.t.c. Hopefully we are very careful when we handle the press next few days as we don't want any more bad press than we already got.
Brother Ogre;
Nothing can express the gratitude we have for you heroes. Our hearts are with you. Go and win dear soldier. The justice for 25years of ruthless savagery can only be delivered by you.
It is Judgment Day, and you [SLDF] are the Judge.
You have basically stated some code names suggesting something related to 581, am I right? Yesterday I heard a very disturbing news. The origin of it was basically from the very units you stated. But today your response suggests that yesterday's was a misinterpretation or a mistake. Brother, I'm really glad.
All right then. Adios general. Enjoy the BBQ. Pls do not even leave a bone. We call it evaporation. See you after victory.
Monkey gets the blade Wandurata deli pihiya labema.
This is the greatest threat now I wish SLDF will not waste time. And also SLDF should attack anyone, regardless who, that enters the NFZ to take him out of harm.
Germany begins its Eelam war Diaspora, many thanks. Please continue. Eelam will be just around the corner.
The US Ambassador in Sri Lanka Robert Blake has been nominated by US President Barack Obama to serve as the assistant secretary of state for South Asian Affairs. If approved by the Senate, Robert Blake will replace Richard Boucher.

We before you have tried to use deplomacy with terrorist's, we have even bowed down to there demand and commited to give them the northern province for a period of time and still they werent satisfied, we have tried everything you would have tried now with Al-Quaeeda, the Taleban, Hesbolla, Hamaas but with the same result you acheived, theres no means of diplomacy with them, this was the only alternative "some times the willingness for peace is the readiness for war" as some say.The fact is we have done what you have asked a million times over and fallen into the same trouble, in reality instead of going to your x seretary of defence and pay the bastard for taking sumone elses bullet in the ass, hire us who will exactly tell you how to fight terrorism..its a parasite and has o be dealt in a similar way. As for you and your allies who house the very terrorist networks that fund the wars in the east, I beleive you need to do some house cleanings, or maybe later like Osama Bin Laden did he will come back to bite your ass. looking at the flags they cary they may end up one day declaring a 51st state in the USA "Eelam Land"

Dear Indian,
Thank you, but I think I'll pass on your invitation to write privately, but if you have the time please post your reply to Thusitha's DW invitation to you today to educate us on the subject.
We would all like to benefit from your erudition on all matters Indian, now that, in your view, a lifetime devoted to studying our Indian history and political events does not qualify me to speak at all on that subject. I regret that, being a mere mortal, I am not equipped to live in multiple countries at the same time to satisfy the lengthy Indian residence requirement for acquiring any knowledge about Indian politics and society. You can accept or reject, as you see fit, my hurried reply to the comments you and Saul made.
However, please do educate all of us Sri Lankan bloggers at DW, in chapter and verse, on the subject of this wonderfully strange and esoteric land you hail from that is so difficult to comprehend. After all, what do we ignorant islanders know about such complex and abstruse things?
But rest assured, ignorant or not, we are endowed with sufficient grey cells to know how to interpret events in foreign lands that affect the national security of our little island and act accordingly. :) :)
Its really Pathetic on the part of srilankan tamils.They were suffering throughout their life in srilanka just because they were tamilians.
Buddha preached non-violence but in buddhist land srilanka , there is more blood of women and children than water.
Its really pathetic.At the end of the day human life is just 60-70 yrs average in asia no one is going to take anything from this world.
Either we end in ash/need 6*3 space.
Neither rajapaksa/VP is going to take anything special when they die.
as i said some months back, Tamil tiger terorists might fake kill their leaders and BBQ them beyond recognision to allow this merder clan to escape without notice.
They might put some FatPigs belongings/hair etc also to the BBQ site to misguide the investigators.
we have to be very careful of any claim comming out from NFZ, if our army is not witness it.
India's role so far should be appreciated well but the caveat there is it is not due to their current leaders' good & correct vision. If that were the case we would have hailed India as a great regional leader. India's current correct hand off path is solely due to none other than due to Sonia, a white woman, that too due to loss of her husband and wanting to take revenge on Praba through SL. Could anybody imagine India supporting SL correctly like this and standing up as a great leader had LTTE not killed Rajiv?
All this great stand by India is just because of a killing one of their men and not due to any great strategic vision and to help a good friendly neighbour; that's what beat all patriotic Lankans.
Current bunch still seems to have only parochial interests in their hearts. For example see Chidambram's recent comments to get cheap votes. That is why emerging Indian think tanks should continue on this correct path and show that they have now taken a corner and will stand above parochial politics to gain support and friendship from its neighbouring countries.
To their credit there are few signs of these already; see the great stand taken my Hindu editor Malathi Parasathy and some genuine and correct comments by general public in Indian news paper comments columns.
Hope India be a true leader in the future; for Sri Lankan Buddhists there is no other brotherly country like righteous India; evergrateful for the mission of Great Arahat Mahinda!
@ Suresh,
Buddha preached non-violence but in buddhist land srilankaWe have dicussed this lot in several times in this blog. Go through last discussions if you want.
/Its really Pathetic on the part of srilankan tamils.They were suffering throughout their life in srilanka just because they were tamilians./
Ya, Kadirgamar had to die just because he was tamilian and same for Alfred Doreappa to Jeyaraj.
/Buddha preached non-violence but in buddhist land srilanka , there is more blood of women and children than water./
Buddhist land Sri Lanka.. ehh then its not multi religious hah.. When any happened good in Sri Lanka nothing to do with buddhism but for every thing happened bad.. all credited to Buddhism.. eh
/Its really pathetic.At the end of the day human life is just 60-70 yrs average in asia no one is going to take anything from this world.
Either we end in ash/need 6*3 space.
Neither rajapaksa/VP is going to take anything special when they die./
You realize the truth in bad times.. which diasspora donkey think like this when LTTE said sending 40,000 body bags to Colombo... Still some are doing hunger strikes, self immolations, blah blah...
To SINHALA REVELOUTIONARY (sic) ARMED FORCES:
I'm fine thank you. You obviously can't see the idiocy of using Nazi marching songs to promote our cause, given that we're fighting a fascistic LTTE.
Take a pick from any of these great Russian marching songs, sung by the victorious Red Army as they crushed the Nazis.

Here's good motto you should try to live by:

But when Wickremaratne said the UN as well as Sir John Holmes have stated so, Edirweerasingham asked "Who is this Mr. Holmes?" Then the Sinhala Association President had to tell him that Sir John Holmes is an under secretary general of the United Nations. Thanks ASS-PORA gus for sending such a person for the debate.
Can somebody drop this bastard at a garbage dump? He is totally disoriented already and may never find his way back home. After that patriots of all SL political parties can build this country together.

Breaking News …
Head of the Eeelam Land, VP has just announced, that their organization is willing to pay US$ 2,000,000 to anybody who can provide correct information of the person who opened the MarvialAru Gate. You can send the information to following e-mail address ASP. vp@peelam.com
"..suresh said...

Yes. But you have to make sure your backbone also going with that 6*3.
Everybody dies. In these conditions you have three options:
1). Can die as a coward living whole life in fear of a terrorists/mafia (or being a terrorist)
2). Can die as an innocnet by a bullet, suicide or claymore from terrorists
3). Or can die as a man after killing the killer. Which helps generations to come think of death only in natural causes.
It is personal choice of which options people preferred to die.
Good news posting @ TamilNet
[TamilNet, Saturday, 25 April 2009, 09:21 GMT]
”Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) unloaded two bombs at 5:20 p.m. (seven minutes ago) and another 4 at 4:27 p.m. (one hour ago), bringing to total 22, the number of times the SLAF hit targets inside the "Safe Zone" on Saturday,”
CJ,
Thank you for again proving my point:
Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot rather open it and remove all doubt.Keep taking the pills. The psychiatrist will be there soon.
Nuclear,
Thanks for the update. The sooner the menace is vanquished the better. SLAF should target 44 bombing raids for Saturday alone. And another load for Sunday. Hopefully by then its all over.
Cant wait to start rejoicing......
Could any patriot living in USA do some good towards our beloved Sri Lanka.....

Burnt Alive is Not our style
That is Peelam Style of achieving instant Eealam
Friends,
Please read following article as well.
http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2009/04/fools.html
The most striking part of the article as follows
"There are LTTE operatives within these LTTE camps. We were approached by one who warned that the whole of Sri Lanka would burn soon ! There were several others- men and women- who could be easily identified as LTTE operatives. I am sure there are hundreds of LTTRs roaming free (the silent cells) outside these camps. Is there an alternative to high security and vigil being maintained in these camps? Who will be answerable, if people get killed in these camps,? If it happens, would not the government be accused of mass murder by the very same people who are complaining about the barbed wire fences and high security?
A UNICEF officer (a foreigner) working in this camp tried to encourage us to be critical of the government, when everything we saw and heard suggested otherwise. His Sri Lankan counterpart – a Tamil, was aghast at what he was attempting. It is at this moment that I understood why the government was suspicious of INGOs."
Based on info from informed sources in western capitals, west is considering partitioning of sri lanka as means of resolving the conflict.
this is a counter threat to MR decision not to listen to the major international players.
the west is all too familliar with these type of struggle, where enminity lingers for hundreds if not thousands of years.
the fear for the west is further radicalization of tamil population around the world, leading to a destablization of both india and sri lanka. they alreadying reaping the problem from muslim radicalization.
hence MR's regime is faced with a stark choice from the IC, further military confrontation and resultant partitioning of sri lanka or peace through a negiotated co-existence based settlement.....
Clock is ticking

Whats new in this? They were doing this for a long time. Their coolies failed. They failed.
There was a program on NDTV about how the war will affect tamil nadu politics called the big fight.
There were 8 guests from political parties and journalists. Out of the tamil nadu politicians only Dr Subramanium Swamy supported us.
The others who spoke for us were all north indians including the 3journalists and the presenter.
All other tamil nadu politicians in the show were against us and pro terror, also much of the audience were the same.

Hey Peelamists. This is a good news for you.

Now the Tamilnadu politicians have organized a mass protest to save LTTE.
The protest is to sh*t on their own sarongs instead of sh*tting on the road.
Saul and Indian,
"Ananda-USA's post on India was one such.I was surprised for whatever I saw here,he was one of few sensible posters."
You should take a closer look at some of his posts, such as his support for a 500,000-man SLA and 4,000,000 homeguards to stop a future Indian invasion of SL (!!). You were correct to state that he is quite out of touch how India does things.
If India wanted to push SL around, it would use its air force and navy not its army. In May 1987 India did not send troops but instead violated SL airspace to drop some food into Jaffna. That is what stopped the previous last offensive to destroy the LTTE. It appears that this minor bit of history has eluded Ananda-USA.
Mango has pointed how why Sri Lankans don't trust India because of recent statements for a ceasefire which would allow the LTTE to survive. Why are the Foreign Minister and Secy in SL??
Also statements from certain pundits like B. Raman published in mainstream Indian press have enforced the notion that India is anti-SL:
After Prabhakaran, what next?"
Let us not forget that ever since our independence in 1947, the Bengalis of the then East Pakistan, the Balochs and Sindhis of Pakistan and the Tamils of Sri Lanka have been India's natural allies.
There is no reason why India should not pride itself and seek to be the paramount power of the region. To emerge and remain as the paramount power, we need natural allies in the region around us. We should not let the legitimate aspirations of our natural allies---whether they be the Sindhis and Balochs of Pakistan or the Sri Lankan Tamils--- be crushed by a brutal regime--- whether in Islamabad or in Colombo.Not only is B. Raman comparing Sri Lanka to Pakistan- India's arch-nemesis, but ***he is declaring that India's march to becoming the "paramount power" will necessarily involve destabilizing its neighbors.*** Do you agree or disagree with what he is saying??
I know that there are sections of Indian society which are pro-SL, such as The Hindu newspaper. But whenever this B. Raman fossil opens his mouth, all the efforts of the pro-SL Indians are dashed to pieces. Indian leaders will have to make a decision whether we're your friends or your enemies.
Dear Upul,
"Based on info from informed sources in western capitals, west is considering partitioning of sri lanka as means of resolving the conflict."
You had also stated that the 55 & 58 Divisions which just advanced into the NFZ had been smashed to pieces. Would you like to revise your earlier analysis??
Hi wijayapala & other Patriots,
Why waste your energy by responding to poor confused Upul (in a state of denial) who is going to get close to his god by biting dust very soon.
(Apologies for long post)
There is a greater level of pressure mounting from IC specially from India with elections.
LTTE proxies are using all possible lies against SL:

In Summary the all use few points:
1). Lack of facilities to IDP
2). Conecntration camp like atmosphere
3). Not letting Journalists to go IDP camps
4). Traped Civilians and shortage of basic facilities (food etc..) for them
5). Trapped cilivilans dangered by fighting
If we can approach military level action to sort 1-4 with in next 2-4 days, then 5 will be automaticaly solved.
Select Journlaist from NDTV, Hindu, Al-Jazeera and CNN who have some un-bias reporting. Never ever let BBC to get in becasue they are trying just for bad things.
Best slution is getting China's support ASAP for relief(since India is not giving a single loaf of bread than talks). They have experience and facilities to handle this kind of emergency.
i really really hope GOSL will not back down, and hold strong, and finish this thing soon.
I mean what can they do? attack us? that will NEVER happen, no matter what.
Ananda USA:
You answer once again shows deep knowledge of India with an utter theoretician's perspective. I do not wish to sidetrack this blog, so just two questions.
Do you know what Mayawati’s statement on Poverty and Need actually was and how it applies? I suggest you read it again.
Also which are the current 13 major/ 38 minor insurgencies in India? You may as well want to give your definition of insurgency. I am not 'challenging' you, just trying to understand.
I do not disagree with anyone who critiques India on poverty, caste, violence, religious fundamentalism. Heck these are obvious issues for us.
Neither do I disagree that India undermined SL by supporting the LTTE early on. We paid a price for it.
But your analysis? It's like my having learnt two words on this blog: Moda Banda. Yeah, great, now I can insult Lankans by calling them Moda Bandas, without understanding the context, the culture, the changes, the nuances. You're a fine poster and obviously very intelligent, but all in all, you analysis lacks perspective, understanding.

Meanwhile, Colombo, knowing victory within its grasp, was in no mood to respond to the demand of the visiting Indian officials for a break in the war to allow civilians to leave, Guardian said. Colombo has asked for a few more days to finish the war and the Indian officials agreed is what unconfirmed reports from Chennai indicate.

[ India's role so far should be appreciated well but the caveat there is it is not due to their current leaders' good & correct vision. If that were the case we would have hailed India as a great regional leader. India's current correct hand off path is solely due to none other than due to Sonia, a white woman, that too due to loss of her husband and wanting to take revenge on Praba through SL. Could anybody imagine India supporting SL correctly like this and standing up as a great leader had LTTE not killed Rajiv?
All this great stand by India is just because of a killing one of their men and not due to any great strategic vision and to help a good friendly neighbour; that's what beat all patriotic Lankans.
Current bunch still seems to have only parochial interests in their hearts. For example see Chidambram's recent comments to get cheap votes. That is why emerging Indian think tanks should continue on this correct path and show that they have now taken a corner and will stand above parochial politics to gain support and friendship from its neighbouring countries.
To their credit there are few signs of these already; see the great stand taken my Hindu editor Malathi Parasathy and some genuine and correct comments by general public in Indian news paper comments columns.
Hope India be a true leader in the future; for Sri Lankan Buddhists there is no other brotherly country like righteous India; evergrateful for the mission of Great Arahat Mahinda! ]
Bravo, Suren!
You hit the nail squarely on its head...with respect to our CONTINUING LOVE and ATTACHMENT to INDIA as well as the PAROCHIAL SELF-INTEREST driving all their PLOICIES towards Sri Lanka...NOT TRUTH & JUSTICE towards an inoffensive and brotherly neighbour.
Will those attitudes change for the better? Not for a long while. We, the sons and daughters of Lanka, have to be prepared to PROTECT THE MOTHERLAND irrespective of INDIAN attitudes.

This is called "kata boru kiwwath diva bour kiyanna". Both the west and TN jokers just need LTTE. Problem is once SLA liberated the hostages they can't play their usual song - stop fighting to save civilians. Their agant failed in dividing SL and seems masters wanna do it themselves.
Saul,
I can write a textbook to explain all the NUANCES you want to you, but DW is not the place for it, and I don't think its worth my time to convince you...as an Indian to be able to fill in the gaps yourself, if you are of sufficiently flexible mind to recognize and accept the truth when it is presented to you unvarnished.
Therefore, I'll ignore the rest of your comment except your statement that "We (i.e., India) paid a price for it."
Sri Lanka didn't invite INDIA to sponsor separatism and terror in our country, and then... on the pretext of helping us solve the problem India created... intervene militarily to PARTITION our country to INDIA's liking.
No, its not INDIA that PAID THE PRICE for it...it is SRI LANKA that paid a PRICE beyond measure in lives, treasure and lost opportunities for national development.
We are STILL paying it...and will continue PAY FOR DECADES to come! That is the LEGACY of INDIAN interference in Sri Lankan affairs...please don't expect our "undying gratitude" for it.
Go GR! well said:
“Sri Lankan people had suffered from terrorism and it is our people who were killed by the LTTE. It is not fair for a foreign country to request that the LTTE be allowed to surrender to an outside party,” Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said speaking to the `Sunday Observer’. “This is an internal matter and we, as the Government, can assure that the problem can be settled internally,” he added.."

Saul & Indian,
Thanks for your +ve attitude.
Ananda-USA’s pivotal argument is that India reared the LTTE once and we have to be prepared for similar blunders repeating.. OK, JR was pro-west and never cared about India. But JR is not much of a Sri Lankan and he was called Yankee Dicky even in those days. RAW should have neutralised JR instead of propping up VP. IAS is to be blamed.
Let me assure you, there is no other people who want the well being of all the Indians than the Sri Lankans. Do you know the names of the four major rivers of Sri Lanka:
Mahaveli Ganga
Kelani Ganga
Kalu Ganga
Valeve Ganga
Now, isn’t it puzzling that the names end with Ganga? Yes, when we first came here from the Gangatic civilisation more than 2500 years ago, we called all big rivers we found here, the Ganga. In fact, the word for river in Singhala became Ganga. Aren’t we more Indian than Indians!!!
Now, it is surprising how little knowledge the IAS people have of the peoples of Sri Lanka. There is one big idiot who reminded us of the glory of Ravana’s Lanka etc during a recent conference in BMICH. Now this person does not know that the Sighala people has no memory of any Ravana and he could never inspire us.
It is very much possible that those were interested parties who wanted to cut our roots from North India who promoted the name Sri Lanka while the traditional name for the island was/is Singhale. Even today, a North Indain when he hears the word Sri Lanka, automatically he utters Ram – Ram for protection! And sub consciously, Sri Lankans are thought to be Rakshas (deamons). The wedge is well in place.
I insist on maintaining our North Indian heritage because the South Indian heritage is more than live and kicking!!!
We want India to behave to the standards set by the greatest son of India, the Gauthama Buddha and the Greatest King of India, Dharma-Ashoka.
When the IAS is so dumb even today, what guarantee there is that your big brains will not repeat VP type blunders again?
It is of India’s interest to see that Sri Lanka becomes a strong Nation equidistant from the five major powers – US, EU, Russia, China & India.
While politically we will be equidistant most our hearts will always be with India.
Also, I wish IAS people come down from the ivory towers built by the British Raj and behave as worthy sons of this Noble Land.

Tales from Prabhakaran's "Berlin" BunkerForces missed Prabhakaran by whisker: Lanka armyApril 25, 2009
PUDUKUDIYYIRIPPU: Tamil Tigers supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran and his top aides were recently missed by a whisker by the security forces, a top
Sri Lankan commander said, claiming that the rebel leader had limited options either to give up or commit suicide.
"We got to know that Prabhakaran had moved through the Pudukudiryirippu-Iranmalai road on a day between March 29-31, just about two days before the army fully laid seige to that area," GoC 58 Division Brig Shavendra Silva said.
"Yes I regret we missed him by a whisker or else things could have been over faster," he said, adding Prabhakaran cannot escape through the road.
Silva said things have come to such a head that women had to hide their son in a hole dug in and covered by the kitched fire place to escape the prying LTTE men on the look out for new Tiger fighters near the 'no-fire zone'.
The senior LTTE leader Daya Master also told the army during interrogation that "only sea tiger leader Soosai, the coordinating LTTE army head Pottu Amman and Prabhakaran's son Charles Anthony are going to stay with him".
"The rest of the senior aides will try to escape as I did," Shavendra Silva quoted Daya Master, the former LTTE media coordinator, to say.
"Yes Prabhakaran lived around here not far ago and people suffered here under him," Silva told reporters who visited the war one.
According to another senior military officer, Prabhakaran is facing "reverses after reverses" in his struggle for a separate Eelam state.
Many Tiger cadres have been forced to give their lives "under duress", since Prabhakaran introduced suicide bombers, mostly young women, and targeted major government installations, including military headquarters and international airport in Sri Colombo, he said.
The media were also allowed a brief chat with the famished looking IDPS passing through the Pudukudiyirippu area.
"The LTTE does not have to tell us anything. We dare not to try to escape as they have sophisticated weapons and we had to wait for our time to come to escape," Arumugam, an IDP, said.
We would like to thank all western and EU countries concern about our country but, don't put your hand in to our mess - which you guys created.
funding, helping supplying arms to terrorist is a crime.
LTTE is a ruthless terrorist group and they killed us yesterday, and same terrorist will kill you tomorrow, if you save them.
it is easy to get involve in a problem, however it is damm hard to get out...what I saying is if you can't finish the problem - don't start it...
all you western countries had 30 years to solve this issue - and you gentlemen had no problem waiting, now all of sudden what the hurry to save tamil tigers. I so kindly ask: please wait few more days till deal is done.
I completely understand itchy feeling...and that's the way it is.
Tamil Tigers leader Prabhakaran 'will fight till death'
The Tamil Tigers' leader will fight to the death instead of surrendering, his former right-hand man Colonel Karuna has told The Sunday Telegraph.
By Mian Ridge in Colombo and Nick Meo
Last Updated: 7:14PM BST 25 Apr 2009
Vellupillai Prabhakaran, whose ruthless will has driven the Tigers for nearly three decades, was believed to be still in command of his surviving fighters last night, cornered in a shrinking patch of territory in Sri Lanka.
The Sri Lankan government has urged him to surrender and end fighting in which thousands of civilians have died. But most generals and officials privately say that only the death of the Tigers' leader will end the island's long war.

Sri Lanka conflict: UN calls for Tamil Tigers to surrender
Sri Lanka civilians facing 'catastrophe' in final battle with Tamil Tigers"Sri Lanka lost so many fighters and civilians and Prabhakaran is responsible for all this," Colonel Karuna said. "I used to say to him, 'Why did you kill all those people?' He's a very horrible man. He has to be eliminated."
Colonel Karuna – whose real name is Vinayagamoorthi Muralitharan - was a child soldier who rose to become Mr Prabhakaran's number two before defecting to the government.
He tore the movement apart when he left, taking with him around a third of the Tiger's fighters, in 2006. He also provided vital intelligence which has helped the army to bring the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to their knees. He was rewarded by being granted control of a large part of the island's east, which he has run ruthlessly as his own fiefdom.
He gave an interview at his heavily-fortified headquarters in the capital, Colombo, where armed soldiers slouched at every corner and visitors were carefully frisked.
Colonel Karuna split from the Tigers because he feared assassination at the hands of their leader, who for years had any potential rival killed. Since he left he has been just as much of a target. "I am number one on the LTTE's hit list," he said. "Prabhakaran hates me."
Eliminating Mr Prabhakaran, who began the war in 1983, is now the key object of the war. One official in Colombo said: "The Shining Path in Peru and the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia both fizzled out when their top leadership was dead or captured.
"It will be the same with the LTTE, and in Prabhakaran's case, it would be better if he dies."
Mr Prabhakaran, a dumpy 54-year-old with a moustache, has been described as strangely lacking in charisma. Outsiders who have met him have described the experience as like meeting a Tamil small businessman. But he has sent more than 250 suicide bombers to their deaths, including dozens of brainwashed schoolgirls, and he now holds thousands of civilians as human shields.
As the fighting has reached its final stages in the past few days, the government has described its strategy as "hostage rescue", although diplomats and aid workers have expressed grave fears for the safety of trapped civilians.
Soldiers seek to kill the leaders and an estimated 300 surviving fighters and allow thousands of civilians to escape. Small "infiltration teams" of snipers have been moving in and out of the Tiger's enclave, which has been constantly buzzed by unmanned drones on the lookout for leaders.
The Sri Lankan navy has maintained a constant patrol offshore on the lookout for any possible escape attempt by submarines, which have been used for gun-running by the Tigers in the past. Many of the fighters have stripped off their tiger-striped uniforms and mingled with civilians to escape.
Mr Prabhakaran, however, seems to have run out of options. His pudgy features are too recognisable for him to slip through army lines.
Reports have said that Mr Prabhakaran's son, Charles Anthony, has escaped by submarine and it is possible that the leader may attempt the same. He has been ill with diabetes however, and may not be able to withstand the rigours of putting on a frogman's outfit to be towed behind a submarine at night past patrolling gunboats.
If he did get out, Mr Prabhakaran could find a welcome in the overseas Tamil Diaspora in Malaysia or India. In exile he could expect to live well; according to Colonel Karuna, he is a billionaire after stealing money intended for the Tamil cause.
Another possibility is that surviving Tigers could commit mass suicide, perhaps forcing their families to take part. Tigers carry cyanide capsules around their necks in case of capture.
One analyst in the capital Colombo said that Mr Prabhakaran has made no public announcement for weeks.
Some fear that even if he dies a handful of Tigers will escape to fight on, using arms caches hidden in the south. But his former right-hand man said that he believes that the fight will now be over. "There are no new leaders waiting," Colonel Karuna said. "The LTTE is finished."

Boys,
Thinking about why a few white leaders are getting so agitated just when Prphakaran is to be captured (possibly alive), I thought remembered a piece I had read a couple of years ago. Here I found it. Looks like some bigwigs in India, France and US have goos reasons to avoid embarassment. And UK? Heck, they will come along for the ride just for fun. Abo-Hunting is no longer Kocher so why not some other poor black buggers. Here it is, spread it around:
"Rajiv Gandhi assasination hatched in Paris hotel: Website
New Delhi | April 26, 2007 1:06:21 PM IST
A web site has suggested that the plot to assassinate former Prime Minister and then Congress party president Rajiv Gandhi in 1991 was hatched in a five-star hotel in Paris.
According to politicsparty.com, French intelligence agencies are in possession of documentary proof and evidence, that the L.T.T.E, Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrochchi and several Congress party bigwigs colluded to have Rajiv Gandhi eliminated, as he was seen as a looming threat to the LTTE and to some Congress leaders, in spite of not being India's Prime Minister at the time.
According to the web site, the L.T.T.E was convinced that Rajiv Gandhi would remain hostile to its activities in Sri Lanka, and therefore to prevent his return to power in 1991, plotted his elimination in a Paris hotel through its key intermediary Anton Balasingham.
The web site further goes on to claim that the surfacing of the Bofors Gun scam brought Quatrocchi into the picture. It says that Quattrocchi realized that India's Opposition politicians and anti-Congress Governments in their passion to expose Rajiv would chase the Bofors Scam and all its beneficiaries.
Quatrocchi believed that Rajiv and his Congress were not winning the 1991 Elections, and therefore, panicked. He wanted the Bofors scam to be buried, and according to the web site, felt that as long as Rajiv Gandhi was alive, the scam would remain alive.
Quattrocchi therefore met Balasingham in Paris and was also in touch with arms dealer Adnan Khashogi. The website said that the entire meeting and conversation between Quattrocchi and Balasingham was recorded by the French intelligence agencies.
The website also says that on the day he was assassinated (May 21, 1991), Rajiv Gandhi was reluctant to leave Vishakapatnam for Chennai and then Sriperumbadur. But some Congress leaders convinced him to undertake the journey, which eventually killed him.
The web site claims that the intelligence agencies of France, Israel and the U.S. possess classified data, which they should hand over to the Government of India.
It says that Government of India should initiate moves to acquire the information pertaining to the Rajiv Gandhi assassination. (ANI)"

Guys,
The link to the above article is given below. Ananda-USA, I have poted it on Patriots Blog as well.
"News.webIndia123.Com"
Sniper,
Thank you for that info bro.
Truly "Hela derana Jana Jayathu Jayamangalani.."
To Indian and Saul,
I can assure you that Ananda-USA is not against India. No Sri Lankan patriot could be. I would suggest to Saul, not to use the word "Moda Banda" unless you are trying to sow enmity between Sri Lankans and Indians (deliberately). If you are a friend then be prepared for some criticism. Here comes more:
In 1956 Nheru decided to develop the linguistic states in India in order to quell secessionist trends. Mostly this was from Tamilnadu.
In interestingly, the Sri Lankan politicians also aligned themselves with Indian trends by making Sri Lanka's official language Sinhala. Thus Sri Lanka was getting ready to be part of a Greater Bharata Union.
Sinhala as an Offical Language was anathema to the elite English speakers of SL who controlled the economy, public-service and the professions. Half of these were "Tamilians".
Even though 12% of Madras State were Kannada speaking Kannada is not an official language in that state (later renamed "Tamilnadu"). Yet the elite "Tamilians" whipped up communal tension by demanding equal status for "Tamil" language (for 12% minority) and demanding territory (later claimed also by LTTE) exclusively for Tamil speakers (this was 1956- the roots of which went back to pre-independence). The Sri Lankan state eventually met this demand because it is a reasonable and democratic state. Besides there is nothing wrong with making Tamil an official language as far as Sri lankans are concerned.
India made it illegal to secede from it in the 1960's after Indo-China bordr War. SL made it illegal to speak of splitting the country in the 1980's with the advent of Tamil Terror.
Now, there are problems for India in creating a future South Asian Union which has to be the way to go. Firstly, it has made enemies of many of the states surrounding it (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sikkhim etc). Sri Lanka still remains a friend, out of necessity in the least. Secondly, now that SL has shown the way for political progress by ensuring equal opportunity for all (including its enforcement) and equal status for language of the minority above 10%, if Indian states are going to be in a Union with the surrounding countries (same applies to Pak and Bangaldesh) then each Indian state has to be firstly given devolved powers akin to state-hod of say an EU state and each state should be as progressive as SL (including recognising minority rights reasonably- as SL has already done). Other wise there is no need for SL to join such a Union.
The only way to secure Bharat is to go for a Union of South Asian states. If you cannot help Pakistan and persuade them of this idea then watch out India. You are in for ome nasty times. SL can be the switzerland of South Asia (and keep out of your problems) or can be a close ally and help heal the rift between Pak and India.
The ball is in the courts of you guys. Don't go advising a country which has already solved its many social challenges. We will continue to progress in ways unimaginable in India in this 21st century. We invite you guys to join us rather than be engaged in caste/race/religion based conflicts.
One final revelation if you did not already know it. Sri Lanka is the only country which hosts all four major religions prominently and fosters them. It is unique. Have you any idea why that is?
Some unwelcome close quarters spectators are sitting in international waters, watching the game unfold...

"India upset with China over Sri Lanka crisis
NEW DELHI: China's declaration of support for the Sri Lankan government against the LTTE, apart from sticking out like a sore thumb in the eyes
of the world, has further fuelled India's mortal distrust of its largest and most powerful neighbour. While India has a much more nuanced position over the issue owing to its domestic compulsions, an unfettered China is supporting Colombo and, in the process, authenticating India's fear about Beijing extending its influence in the Indian Ocean.
According to government sources, Beijing's support to Colombo cannot be viewed in isolation because it follows a series of initiatives aimed at influencing the Sri Lankan government. These include selling huge quantities of arms to Colombo last year and boosting aid almost five times to $1 billion. In fact, China is now the largest donor to Lanka. Its Jian-7 fighter jets, anti-aircraft guns and JY-11 3D air surveillance radars played a key role in the Sri Lankan military successes.
China came to rescue of Colombo after the US stopped direct aid to Sri Lanka because of its dismal human rights record. What's worse, said strategic affairs expert Brahma Chellaney, Beijing has also roped in its ally Pakistan for providing military assistance to Lanka. Pakistan's own economy is in tatters, but it has increased its annual military assistance to Sri Lanka to $100 million at Beijing's behest. It is also well known that its air force trained its Sri Lankan counterpart in precision-guided attacks.
"The Chinese are courting Sri Lanka because of its location in the Indian Ocean -- a crucial international passageway for trade and oil. Chinese engineers are currently building a billion-dollar port in the country's southeast, Hambantota, and this is the latest `pearl' in China's strategy to control vital sea-lanes of communication between the Indian and Pacific Oceans by assembling a `string of pearls' in the form of listening posts, special naval arrangements and access to ports,'' said Chellaney.
The Chinese are building a highway, developing two power plants and putting up a new port in the hometown of President Mahinda Rajapakse. Delhi is also feeling hard done-by by Beijing's support to Colombo over the issue of LTTE because it believes China is driving home an unfair advantage it has over India in the crisis. "Unlike in our case, there is no moral dimension to the crisis for China. We have to think about the humanitarian situation and conditions after the offensive is over. There is no domestic compulsion for China but our involvement is much more intricate,'' said a source.
China, in fact, continues to aggressively pursue its strategic interests by building ports in the Indian Ocean rim, including in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar. According to Chellaney, Beijing has sought naval and commercial links with the Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius and Madagascar. "However, none of the port-building projects it has bagged in recent years can match the strategic value of Hambantota,'' said Chellaney. "
“US calls on LTTE to surrender to a third party” - Robert Wood
I agree.
I suggested (to a US official) LTTE surrenders not to SLA, but to SLN.
LMSSAO!!! Fcuking LMSSAO!!!
OaO Asithri
Yes, really the fcuking moron thought I was serious and said "yes, perhaps" before the tube-light lit in his stupid brain and the moron started laughing...ha ha ha...
Nothing like having some fun at the expense of LTTE momma-fuckers uh?
Sure it appears this Obama Administration is full of idiots...well, appointing Hillarious Clinton to that vital position alone proves that!
Good lesson for the Sinhelas who I have argued - until blue in the face - to look beyond "Bush-bashing" for the sake of our motherland...often it was to no avail...the myopic stupids went ahead and voted for this Obama Administration - and now the myopic stupids are giving me embarrassed glances! ha ha ha...
:)) :)) :))
OaO Asithri
p.s. not that the Sinhelas vote in the US would have been a "king maker" but at least now I have the satisfaction of saying to myself, no, I did NOT get sucked in for a half-baked set-up that is now out to screw my motherland. Eat your heart out you Obama/Clinton Sinhela suckers!!! Some even were so misguided they thought I was the one who was misguidedly speaking on behalf of the "religious right"..!!! Wow!!! How I laughed then and how I laugh now!!!
guys this is a time to rejoice and make merry
SOME UNSOLICITED ADVICE FOR
OUR BELOVED INDIAN COUSINS:
.................
ABANDON DOUBLE STANDARDS:
I am all for "Political Solutions" with terrorists: First in India, then in Sri Lanka. That is why I VEHEMENTLY criticize the Indian security forces attack on the MUMBAI TERRORISTS. These are FREEDOM FIGHTERS with legitimate grievances...aren't they? The Indian Govt should have NEGOTIATED a PEACEFUL AGREEMENT with them...isn't that so? Hey, if they were demanding an INDEPENDENT JAMMU & KASHMIR...GIVE IT TO THEM, after all every community, no matter how small, has the right of SELF-DETERMINATION ...don't they? By confronting the Mumbai terrorists, INDIA's security forces PROVOKED THEM and DELIBERATELY INFLICTED civilian casualties. What, the terrorists gunned down innocent people, you say? Well, we have to break SOME EGGS in an independence struggle, DON'T WE? BOYS, will be BOYS. Forgive them, don't be harsh. Now, about the civilian casualties caused by the SECURITY forces...Quite REPREHENSIBLE, Don't you think? SAME PROBLEM exists in SRI LANKA, so ABANDON DOUBLE STANDARDS!
..............
BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR:
Good NEIGHBOURLINESS Between NATIONS: Pakistan & Bangladesh have NO DUTY to MOSLEMS in India...That is the SOLE RESPONSIBILITY of the SOVEREIGN NATION of India. India has NO DUTY to TAMILS in Sri Lanka...That is the SOLE RESPONSIBILITY of the SOVEREIGN NATION of Sri Lanka. SOVEREIGN Pakistan & Bangladesh have a DUTY to PROTECT SOVEREIGN India from ATTACKS by controlling their MOSLEM citizens. SOVEREIGN India has a DUTY to PROTECT SOVEREIGN Sri Lanka from ATTACKS by controlling their TAMIL citizens. Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You!
..............
MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS:
INDIA HAS NO DUTY TO TAMILS IN SRI LANKA: India and Sri Lanka are sovereign nations and neither India nor anyone else has a right to interfere in what is essentially an internal matter. Yet, India asserts a duty to guarantee the Tamils of Sri Lanka. These two positions are CONTRADICTORY. If the second duty is to be FULFILLED, then the first truth must be VIOLATED! If these CONTRADICTORY PRINCIPLES are applied to India by PAKISTAN & BANGLADESH on behalf of over 200 million Indian Moslems, and by CHINA on behalf of the Mongoloid peoples of the Northeastern and Northwestern states of India, the INTEGRITY & SOVEREIGNTY of INDIA will be at RISK because each of them will ASSERT a DUTY to certain communities in INDIA and will intervene in Indian affairs. Likewise, INDIA HAS NO DUTY TO TAMILS IN SRI LANKA...THAT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SOVEREIGN NATION OF SRI LANKA.
..............
STOP PREACHING LONG ENOUGH
TO HEAL THYSELF FIRST
What "Political Solution" is there in a DEMOCRACY, except EQUAL RIGHTS & EQUAL RESPONSIBILITIES as citizens? Sri Lankan Tamils had these before this conflict began over three decades ago. Now they want exclusive rights in a mono-ethnic racist aparthied state reserved only to themselves. That will never be allowed in Sri Lanka. You Indians give different caste, race, language and religious groups different rights in your own country, and destroy it from within, but we Sri Lankans will never allow that. India is beset by 13 major insurgencies, endemic caste warfare, separatist nationalist movements, and religious discord, yet you PRESUME to know how to advise Sri Lanka! What IDIOCY! What HYPOCRISY! INDIA HEAL THYSELF before you breakup into many warring vulnerable nations! Your illiterate & destitute citizens need enlightened leaders following in the footsteps of the Lord Buddha, Dharma-Asoka & Mahatma Gandhi NOW!

MayilRavana,
Thanks Bro. I saw it; very good!
/Now it appears the strategy is come in here as "Indians" and to show that "we Indians are watching you "moda-bandas"...so be good...be good by Tamils and give them their autonomous/semi-autonomous state"/
I don't know about Wijayapala but this may be one last option available for peelamists including come here as USA, UK, Canada citizens. Well, they are. HIKZ.
